John – there’s an impostor on your site!

How much do you want for letting it grow back?

Good on you – I reckon you look ten years younger!

Now for the inevitable EBay auction of the remnants of the beard.

scary

John?

It’s a good look, John. Like Megan says, it makes you look ten years younger. Keep it off!

Of course, for next year’s fund raiser you’d have to shave your head, but that’s another story.

Again, well done.

Looks great, how does it feel?

You really do look younger. BTW, congrats on the fundraising.

Oh. My. God.

You look a bit shellshocked

Mmm. A passing resemblance to the late Tony Hancock, methinks.

Even more beautiful than I ever imagined…

Congratulations! on the fundraising and the chin!

Wow! How does it feel?

I see that the beard had become more ‘distinguished’ than in your banner. The goatee looks very cosmopolitan and the clean shave looks… well, like an economist! Good choice to have!

AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

How is your wife taking to the new look? Are you sleeping out on the porch?

Speechless……

don’t worry about the jowl-ly look John, it will soon disappear with a lot of sensational hand massaging…as in the senses that is. In that vein, stay away from the mirror for a bit.

What Megan and Tim said – you look 10 years younger!
Are you going to flog the offcuts on eBay?

I don’t see a downside…Well Done!!!

PS.
Anyone else detect a passing resemblence in our hirsute host to the original BlindFreddy?

“..Sir Frederick William Pottinger, (was) officer in charge of the Lachlan district during the reign of the bushranger Ben Hall. The convict’s success in eluding capture scored Pottinger the nickname “Blind Freddy” among his peers and journalists of the day.”

There goes the beard.

Such is life…

good on ya! and your boy looks quite cute too.
If only i was 20 years younger…..

You look older, or at least more boring.

Well done on the sacrifice for charity. Now skip your 4pm shave and put it back.

re your flickr fots….who’d have thought there were two such spunks hiding under all that fur?! fantastic job of fundraising, John.
